Kitchen makeover results!

Here was our kitchen. We had a nice white kitchen. Black and white tile floor. Some liked it, but it is a pain in the behind to keep clean. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Bead board as the
back splash and on walls. Cute, yet not cute at all. Falling apart in fact. Five cupboard doors had come off the hinges. We replaced them but never got the right ones so the door never closed correctly. It was going down hill and fast. It had to be done...... When you start a project of any kind it is always more involved than you first might think. Here are the ugly pipes in the wall, the dry rot in the floor and wall that needed to be replaced.
Lucas was really into helping and the hammer was his favorite! Mr. Makeover himself sporting his sweat band as he pounds the tile to pieces! Goodbye black and white tile....we won't miss you at all!
Daniel's sister, Jill had to get in on the fun. She loves this kind of stuff and I hope she didn't lose sleep over it!(she likes to dream about organizing and projects like this)
Dan's removal of the old cupboards.
Papa Wolfley and Dan getting the floor boards replaced. Lucas was with them the whole way. All the other kids played and did their own thing, but not our Lukey! He takes after Dan's side of the family for sure! Floor is almost ready for tile! Yippeee! See the one new cupboard in! I was so excited!
The tile layers were fast and did such a nice job!

Here it is! TA DA! I love it, I love it! I love it! I will think back of my month washing the dishes in the bathtub, or making cruddy meals for my family(microwave style) sorry if that is how you cook. But it just wasn't a great experience. I will forever be so grateful for my kitchen! Thank you Dad and Daniel for the many, many hours of thought, sweat and physical exertion you put into this part of our house! I love it!

The end.

That is beautiful! I love the back splash. When we remodeled our kitchen I was doing dishes in the tub and eating everything out of the microwave too. We had our fridge set up in the den along with boxes of food & the microwave.
